Excerpt from The Provision for Historical Studies at Oxford: Surveyed in a Letter to the President of the American Historical Association on the Occasion of Its Meeting in California, 1915
My dear Professor Stephens,
When I left your hospitable door, less than a year ago, it was with unspoken hope that I might congratulate in person the President of the American Historical Association on the occasion of its Californian meeting, to which you already looked forward with characteristic enthusiasm. But events have intervened, as significant to historians as they are momentous for us all, and I must use other means to convey to yourself my personal good wishes, and to your distinguished Association the congratulations of an Oxford colleague on its choice and on the fair issue which this conference brings.
With these formal greetings I would gladly send some material token of the interest and goodwill with which a historian in one of the oldest surviving schools of history looks out overseas upon the widespread zeal for those studies which your Association symbolizes.
